sudden lighting problem.

[BIG CHEVY]

i was riding tonight....sprayed my car off....went to vacuum it...used blinker and wouldnt blink. WENT FROM WORKING TO CRAP IN 3 STOP SIGNS. just to give u a reference of things.

upon getting gas i found that i have no tail OR brake lights......tag lights....and the turn signal works only when all exterior lights are not on. is this remedy-able?

UPDATE:.....now i have found when i press the brake pedal the tail/brake (cant determine which one) and the TAG all light up. but dim. front lights all work real good except the blinkers. they are struggling and slow.....and dim but just using running lights they are good. forgive the caps..... ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE GREAT...FRONT LIGHTS ARE GREAT UNLESS U TURN ON SIGNALS. IF I HAVE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING PULLED ON.....NO BACK LIGHTS WILL WORK. flasher? water problem?

If I have to take a wild guess from the symptoms, I'd guess that you got water into some of the sockets or the ground for the rear lights. The factory put a dielectric grease in the sockets to prevent water from getting into them.

solved. i posted fast because i was in emergency and couldnt drive to my house...(legally). but i started poking around and it was the ground inside trunk down and to the left. looked fine but after remove/clean/replace......ITS CAMARO TIME!!!!!!!........apologies for the panic...

P.S. how come electrical problems give u a complex for weeks? will be partanoid all the time now...
